My new Heym Express in .416 Rigby

[Garrett89]

Just wanted to share a new LEFTY Heym martini express that I couldn't live without. Chambered in .416 Rigby and topped with a Zeiss 1-4 I'm looking forward to taking it over with me on my next trip. I'm told it was built in '92 and has sat unfired since then. A real shame but good for me! Anyway, how'd I do?

Oh my! That’s one beautiful rifle.

Nice rifle. Will we get to see some sinister shot groups and a few hunting pics?

Beautiful rifle. Shame the bolt is on the the wrong side though! Hows it shoot?

Stunning rifle!! Congrats!

Great looking rifle. ‘92 though? It would be a Heym Express, no Ralf Martini involved.

Gotcha, wasn't clear on that! Thanks for that info

Great rifle.
Superb action, sytem and barell.
Maybe the stock is a little bit to german and heavy...

Good rifle

These were made in many cartridges up to .600 NE . I saw some of them on an event show once , they were great build and not that costly for the time . One got a lot of value for the build .

Correct.
In 600 NE and in 577 NE and in 500 NE (even in different 500 wildcats calibers, custom made directly from the factory - then in Münnerstadt/Germany -).

416 rigby is one of my favorites, all a guy really needs for everything.

Look how straight the stock is and how there is no drop...beefy as it should be! Well done. A proper 416 Rigby can do anything in Africa...biggest to smallest...no problem. 400 grain TSX or A-square and a good solid and you are set for everything.

You better believe it!

I'll let you know!

Congrats on the new rifle, it look like a beautiful gun, good luck with it.

 

[gizmo]

It would be the perfect bolt gun if it wasn't left handed!

 

[Monski]

Congrats on a special rifle!

I have a pre-Martini right hand sibling in .404J I really like it. Maybe a tad heavy for the caliber, but it sure is a pussycat. I think you’ve done well and will really like it. Congrats.

What separates the Heym express from the Heym Martini express?
